Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing better than you've ever done before.
There's a band called Pantera that I listen to, and then Metallica's 'And Justice for All'. If you listen to a little bit of that before you go on stage, you're pretty much set for the whole show.
I would say that nobody is going to work harder for your career than yourself — the one with the vision. No matter how many people you hire, nobody is going to get is as much as yourself does. So it's really important to be your own leader at all times and not hand it all off, otherwise the whole empire will fall apart.
You know what they call the fellow who finishes last in his medical school graduating class? They call him 'Doctor'.
Your self-esteem won't come from body parts. You need to step away from the mirror every once in a while, and look for another reflection, like the one in the eyes of the people who love you and admire you.
I love performing, and I love being in front of people. I love the pressure you get and the pleasure performing brings.

You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.
Sometimes comparing can be a good thing: it can inspire us to work harder and reach farther. But for the most part, excessive measuring yourself up against others — especially when it becomes a way to put yourself down — is a colossal waste of time. It's a dead end. It won't make you do anything except feel horrible.
Once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens.
To live in the light of a new day and an unimaginable and unpredictable future, you must become fully present to a deeper truth — not a truth from your head, but a truth from your heart; not a truth from your ego, but a truth from the highest source.
You have to be confident in who you are and what you're doing. Of course, you try to evolve. I would never tell you, 'Today is the best I will ever be'. I'm always trying to be a better chef, a better dad, a better person.
